He did indeed. He looked like an Olympic sprinter next to Solomona.

And I seem to recall that fat useless prop scoring against Saints in the last ever Knowsley Rd derby.

he's a joke of an athlete

should just retire now and descend into obesity and disease

Dave can do things with the ball other players cant and that is a quality any team would want as he is a quality game breaker

Haven't seen much of him this season and he sure has added some bulk over the last few seasons.
But this guy, regardless of his size, is one of the most skillful RL players that we have had over here, tru genius !

At the moment he looks like he could hide one in the cheeks of his ar[is[/ie

When I turned the TV on I thought it was a game of Union at first. But then he didnt look quite fat enough for that.

the guy is bound to have put a bit of junk in the trunk as he hasn't played this year due to breaking his leg in aus. But as previously said he is a game breaker he can do things no one else can.

That’s probably because he’s been out with a broken leg sustained in pre-season.

He appears to have had a number of injuries in the last couple of years and each time he’s returned he looked bigger than ever, so I was interested to see what sort of shape he was in after such a long layoff – wow.

He’d probably go ok with a couple of ten minute spells per game, however, I don’t think even Warrington can afford such a luxury.

I’m just glad I saw him at his best.

Like flatten tarmac.

Eat It?

Do ppl mean his offloads when they say his ball skills, cos if they do he is like a poor mans oversized Hock lol.

I have never seen him do anything another player cant do.

one game one moment off the top of my head the challenge cup semi at widnes

You clearly haven't seen much of him then in the ten years or so he's played in SL. Maybe at the end of his career but ball skills that Gareth ( Mr Niceguy ) Hock ( or hardly anyone else for that matter ) will never aspire to match.

Yeah I've got to say Solomona is/was one of the most skill full & dynamic players to have played SL, and has produced some astonishing feats in his time

Now he doesn't look fit for a pub team and I'm amazed he played.

Did you see him scoring 3 tries against Wigan for the Bulls in that 2007 play-off game ?

Since when was having ball skills and a few injury layoffs an excuse to become a fat ****?

Gareth hock is a forward with ball skills, and had 2 years out from the game, and believe it or not....he didn't become morbidly obese.

yeah, i'm afraid he can't do those things anymore because, in case it escaped your attention he's put on about 50 pounds, all round his waist.

It must be terrible for his health.

You'd have thought he'd have gone running or cycling when he'd been off injured with a broken leg to lose the weight... Oh yeah

You'd have thought he'd adjust his caloric intake accordingley for less energy expenditure.

I have, and so have many other Wakefield fans. He displayed some fantastic skills at Wakefield. In his last season he played with all sorts of injuiries and helped keep us up.

Thats because he broke his leg pre season.

Solomona is naturally a big guy, with a 4 month period were training was virtually non existant due to his injury its inevitable he would put some weight on. The major difference is a guy like Solomona, in comparision to some of the people who watch the game (and no doubt contributing to this pointless thread) who are spherical, can shift that weight when they have the chance to.

Some?

He would put [i[size=150some[/size[/i weight on?

It looks like he's retired, sat around in a beater all day and lived from KFC megabuckets and mr kiplings cakes 24/7.

No he was a fully fit player capable of running a marathon and hitting the gym, go for a bike ride, swim the channel anything he wanted except play rugby for being a drug user. Unlike Solo who was just injured.

Mark Calderwood scored 3 in the same game. Doesn't prove anything does it.

Comparing Sols ball Skills to Hocks destroys any argument you had. Also perhaps Hocks inability to use a knife and fork prohibits him from ingesting enough of the finer foods to allow weight gain. Let's not go into Hocks other activities that may promote weight loss.

If Sols biggest crime is the love of too many pies it still makes him ten times the human being Hock is.
